Bible Note: Hello BradK, I assure you I am not confusing the promises made to Israel with the church, and I agree at this time that Mal. 3:8-9 is not a proof-text command or promise to the Body of Christ, it is however a promise to Israel. I was just reading in Hebrews Chapter 7, and the context of the tithe was giving a tenth of Abrahams spoils or increase to Melchizedek. It is strange that this is relating back to the OT. It seems things haven't changed from OT to NT and the basis on which the Law is set that obedience to it will bring blessings, and disobedience would bring a curse. I don't see at this time the tithe as a command, unless a requirement to recieve blessings would be considered a command, I have to look into that a little more, I'm still learning and growing. In answer to your last question, I thank Him for placing me in this position, and I would have to say that I am seeking the Kingdom. ( Matt 13:45). Now I would like to know if anyone reading could show me if the tithe is commanded. Thank you, wordoer |
